Cody Assmann has been enthralled with The American West for as long as he can remember. As a kid, he was fortunate enough to grow up in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains surrounded by real mountain men, cowboys, ranchers, and other self-reliant folks. Once he grew into a young man, Cody experienced the Western lifestyle firsthand by breaking colts, working on ranches, and learning to outfit a packhorse for wilderness travel. Now blessed with a wonderful family, Cody is fortunate enough to have stayed true to his heart and finds ways to incorporate the outdoors into his life and share those adventures with others.
